The Real Thing of course is great though. Surprise You're Dead! and Falling to Pieces are among my favorite songs from them. The bonus track Woodpecker From Mars is a fantastic instrumental too.
Even though the singer at that time is kinda terrible, I like Introduce Yourself a lot more than The Real Thing. It just has better songs and overall sounds more atmospheric.

Angel Dust and King for a Day are my faves by far though.

Chuck Mosley was the best kind of terrible there is lmao. I actually prefer him in Cement to his FNM career. Check it out if you haven't already.

Yeah, Cement's fantastic too. The Man With the Action Hair is in my opinion the best other album from a FNM member.

Yeah, the atmosphere is one of the things I love about that album. I haven't heard anything else like it. It's really cool hearing these thrash-funk riffs playing over this grandiose keyboard background. This is probably my favorite FNM song of all time:

You guys are nuts if you think the songwriting is better than...well, anything really on The Real Thing. Album was god-tier the second it hit airwaves with 'Epic', and Patton ****ing crushes on the title track.

I've always liked 'The Crab Song' a lot though.

The hooks on that album are something the **** else.

Sometimes the hooks are so godlike that they transcend genre and sit at Odin's table next to Madonna and the Kinks.

^ So many good hooks a slaughterhouse couldn't contain them all.

Also, been revisiting Dissona today. One of the more interesting extreme metal bands of the last few years.



and also really pumped for the new album by Sigh coming this month. Phil Anselmo is apparently on this song.

One of the all-time great thrash, proto-thrash, power metal, speed metal, early 80s metal tracks ever. This song has been implanted in my DNA since high school and ****s your **** up no matter what decade you're in. I once described Harry Conklin's vocals as a metal used car salesman and I'm no longer entirely sure what that means but it's one of the opinions that made me a metal fan so I guess it's cool.
